It's a centuries-old symbolic gesture of hospitality to present a pineapple to guests. The tropical fruit's presence can be seen repeatedly inside Rochester's newest Southern-inspired restaurant, The Revelry.

Facing University Avenue, at the front of a longstanding building, major restoration was done months before The Revelry opened its doors in June.
